Being still

Each day seems like a race:

start slow, end fast.

No time to think or hope,

just do and be.

So now is time to pause,

to dream and wish.

 To shape another world

            of being still.

This world is full of calm,

            of peace and ease.

It is inside your mind

            and always there.

Take time each day to rest

            within this world.

Then, with new energy,

            rejoin the race.
